Video from Philippine viral with claim of arson in French library, read, fact-check

A video is getting viral on social media platforms. A horrible fire in a luxurious building, emitting massive smoke in the air, can be seen in this video. Users are claiming that this viral video belongs to the largest library which is located in France’s Marseille. The library has been surrendered to fire amid France riots, broken out after the fatal killing of a 17-year-old teenager by the French police.

A user by the name of Anuj Kumar Singh posted a video on Twitter and wrote: “The Alcazar Library in Marseille is the largest library in France, containing an archive of one million historically significant documents”.

Fact-Check

To know the truth behind this viral video, the team of Dfrac converted the video into some keyframes, and then, the team reverse-searched it. The team found numerous media reports during this process.

Associated Press (AP), a renowned news agency, published a news, along with a video on March 22, 2022. According to this news, a horrific fire has destroyed the chief post office in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. The post office was built in the neoclassical era, around 100 years ago.

Conclusion

It is clear from Dfrac’s fact check that this viral video is not related to Alcazar Library in France. This viral video belongs to Manila, the capital of the Philippines where the post office had been destroyed by fire in 2022. 

Therefore, the claim of social media users is misleading.
